Frustrating when the store runs out of something and they just tell me "I don't know if we're getting more or not," there is no way I would ever get away with saying that to a client

Hii everyone from IBM 👋🏻

Whats the process of initiating and getting the hike/bonus?

Whom should I talk to regarding the hike/bonus? And whats the process like??

Just got banned from traveling to the client tomorrow. Anyone from New York or Seattle can’t be on site.

I’ll be asking my last job for a letter of recommendation but I’m not sure who to ask. My boss, who is lovely and would write an amazing LOR. Or my boss's boss who would put minimal effort in but it would have more weight.

I'm a fresh grad and I thought this would be my dream job... I became the 3rd team member in this location and the regional team leader helped me understand and learned a lot... Until about 4 months down the line, he announced to quit. It's about half of year now since I started to feel ever so alone, hopeless and helpless in the team. The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job

Another consultant is actively trying to backstab me. Advice for getting ahead of this?

Has anyone gone thru a vendor onboarding with InterPublic group (IPG)? Who can tell me what it’s like / what’s involved? We just won a project and in curious… I hear the vendor onboarding / setup is lengthy and “intense” but would love to know how long it takes and what do they need from you that makes it “intense?”

2012 Sr Associate. Left my firm in February after being recruited by a partner I used to work for, and it turns out I’m not very happy. Difficult people, terrible schedule and ruined vacations so far. A partner at my old firm in another group has asked if I would come back to work for just him. I liked working for him, we have great rapport and I could do permanent WFH since he is in another city. I don’t want to burn bridges, would this be a bad idea? Or an easy decision?

Attending a company holiday party where they're doing a white elephant gift exchange. I barely know anyone except through emails and IMs given that most of us WFH. Fun but office appropriate gift ideas $30 or under?

How do you deal with a challenger type of personality? I’m fairly new and I know the senior is trying to teach me the thought process. But she also makes me feel extremely small by the way she phrases her questions. I’m already stressed out not having everything figured out yet and this makes me feel super tense and down.

How much did you spend on client lunches/dinners last year? I’m at $3,600.

On EAD. Anyone made the move to Canada, Europe, etc coz of the all immigration issues - H1B, DACA, etc. seriously thinking hard. limited options and so stressful to deal with.

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

What should I expect if I join the logistics industry?

Hello,
I am curious about the latest challenges your company has faced in supply chain operations for the past few months. Is anyone willing to share?

Managing a supply chain is not as simple as it sounds, and I don't think we get paid enough for all the pressure that's being up on us

I am looking to start my own supply chain management company. I have some friends from my previous company who said they would like to join my company instead, and I know I have to rent/buy some trucks. What other supplies/roles should I look to start filling? Also what legal documents should I prepare?

According to your experience, what's the best way to start importing from Asia?

Hello all-

Hey everyone. Do you have a good work-life balance in your job?

Huh… my company made me drive cross-country with a load that should've been refrigerated, only to be scolded at my destination because said load arrived spoiled. I only transport goods, it's not my job to ensure the quality of said goods!

I’m burned out and looking at ways to leave the long hours behind while staying in the industry. How have you used your SCM skills as a freelancer or applied to a side hustle?

What do you like the least about working with supply chain management?

What's the biggest delivery you've ever made? I just brought a 75,000 pound truck across 3 states and so far that's my record

Was trucking my load across statelines, as one usually does. Turns out the new guy sitting next to me was never properly trained on how to secure said load inside the truck. Now we're trying to put everything back in it's place and it's so annoying. I don't blame him but still.

My coworker has been really cold toward me lately. Doesn't say hi to me in the morning and always declines my lunch invitations. Should I ask if I did something wrong or should I just see if it blows over?

My current title is Buyer. I handle the purchasing of the larger categories of direct materials and train any new Buyers. I also manage outsourcing and quoting of raw materials for new business, among other things.

I am looking at taking over capacity planning for manufacturing, while keeping my previous responsibility.

What could I suggest for a new title/promotion? There isn't an existing position that I would be filling, and I want to show career growth on my resume.
